Winning the lottery is the ultimate fantasy—one moment you’re contemplating whether avocado toast is worth the splurge, and the next, you’re Googling “how much is too much to spend on a private island?” Naturally, I’ve given this some thought (because who hasn’t?), and let me tell you: my plan is equal parts fabulous, impractical, and hilariously over-the-top. Let’s dive into my post-jackpot extravaganza!
First, I’d make a very professional phone call to my boss. Not to quit—oh no—but to say I’ll be extending my lunch break indefinitely. Then I’d proceed to exit with the kind of flair that requires choreography: glitter cannons, a slow-motion strut, and Beyoncé’s Run the World (Girls) playing at full volume.
Next, it’s time to unleash my inner “daytime diva meets billionaire on vacation” persona. I’d upgrade my wardrobe to include a closet of flowy kaftans, oversized sunglasses that scream “Do not disturb,” and, of course, a dramatic floppy hat wide enough to provide shade for a small village.
Now, onto the big dream: the yacht. Derek and I always said we’d get one, and let’s be honest, what’s the point of winning the lottery if you can’t sail into the sunset like you’re auditioning for a James Bond movie? We’d set off on a global adventure, docking at exotic ports like Santorini, Bora Bora, and… Cleveland (because every hero needs an ironic plot twist).
But our yacht wouldn’t just be a yacht. It would be a floating palace of indulgence, complete with a champagne fountain, a pizza oven, and an onboard masseuse named Claude. We’d wave at the locals from the deck as if we were royalty, Derek in a captain’s hat and me swirling a margarita while plotting our next escapade.
I’d also dedicate a small fortune to something philanthropic, like funding a spa that only caters to exhausted adults who just need five minutes of peace and quiet. You’re welcome.
Finally, I’d hire a financial planner. Someone to tell me things like, “Maybe don’t buy that emerald-encrusted popcorn machine,” and “You need an emergency fund for your emergency fund.”
Of course, after all that, I’d still be me—just with better snacks, spontaneous boat trips, and a whole lot of ridiculously unnecessary gadgets. Because who says you can’t splurge and stay humble?
